I notice above that some people have difficulty with persuading people to undertake fire safety training.

I find that people can be a little embarassed when they suddenly realise that they do not actually know what to do.

I start my evacuation drills, not by operating the alarm, but by picking on an employee and telling them they have discovered a fire. I tell them that their computer is alight and ask them to take the appropriate action. I tell them I am timing them and that this should be treated as real. I did this yesterday and it took 5 minutes before the fire alarm was operated.

It tends to focus minds!
